INSTALLATION
Video Connections:
(choose only one, and make sure that type is available on your TV)
• HDMI • S-video
• Component video • Composite video
NOTES:
• Digital audio, HDMI and component video connections are not
dedicated to any source input. When any of these physical
connections are used, they must be assigned to the desired
source input as described in the Initial Setup section. It’s
possible for a source input to use none of the connectors
named for it; e.g., the DVD source may use the Component
Video 1 inputs for video and the Coaxial Digital Audio Input 1
for audio, both of which require assignment.
• If the video display is equipped with an HDMI or DVI digital
video input, make sure it is also HDCP-compliant (High-
Bandwith Digital Content Protection) to display copy-protected
materials.
• If the source or video display has a DVI input, use an HDMI-
to-DVI adapter (not included), and make separate audio
connections.
• Although the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs are designated
as a separate source input, the 6CH button on the remote
may not be programmed to operate a source device. The
6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs are used with an analog video
input (component video, S-video or composite video, but not
HDMI) that may also be assigned to another source input,
such as DVD. Program the corresponding Input Selector on
the remote, e.g., DVD, with the device’s product code. To enjoy
audio from the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs, first select the
source for the video input (DVD, in this example), and then
switch the source to the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs. The
AVR 154 will use the last-selected analog video input while
obtaining audio from the 6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs.
Connect a DVD, SACD, HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc Player
HDMI Video:
I f the DVD player and the TV both have an HDMI
connector, connect the player as follows (see Figure 19):
• Connect the DVD player’s HDMI output to the HDMI 1 Input on the AVR.
• Connect the DVD player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 2
input on the AVR.
Figure 19 – Connecting an HDMI-Equipped Disc Player
If the player is capable of playing multichannel discs, including DVD-
Audio, SACD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc, make the following additional
connections (see Figure 20):
• Connect the DVD player’s component video output to the Component
Video 1 Input on the AVR.
• Connect the DVD player’s 6-channel analog audio outputs to the
6-Channel Analog Audio Inputs on the AVR.

Component Video: If the DVD player or the TV does not have an
HDMI connector, but they both have component video connectors,
connect the player as follows (see Figure 21):
• Connect the DVD player’s component video output to the Component
Video 1 Input on the AVR.
• Connect the DVD player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 1
input on the AVR.
